Default Scooby sport - good tow vehicle???

Hi all, bought a scooby sport about 8 weeks ago. I'm now close to finishing my 106 rally car and was wondering how good a tow vehicle the sport is before I think of purchasing a nice shiney trailer and sorting the scoob out with a tow eye/electrics etc.

The trailer needs to be 80% of the weight of the tow car, preferably less. Fit the heaviest spares in the car - back seats if you can. It will help stop the trailer fishtailing.

Id be surprised if you can legally tow a Peugeot 106 and trailer with an Impreza.

pretty sure any veh can tow anything as long as the overal weight isn't over 3.4ton (something like that, not exact weight).

The maximum weight allowed will be marked on the build plate. Its far from being that simple...

With reference to the duck: one large bubble.
